When Staging a Home Keep the Targeted Buyer in Mind. Doing so is extremely important and can determine success or failure with the Home Staging. Am I staging a downtown loft or a home in the suburbs? Who lives in this neighborhood? These are some of the questions I ask myself. Point in fact: When I went to do the bid for this condo I noticed it was extremely quiet, not a lot of activity in the common areas and a few people of the older generation walking through the halls.  I asked the Realtor if the buyer would likely be someone downsizing or a young professional wanting to entertain clients since the condo was located on an Exclusive Private Golf Course. I was told most likely someone downsizing. When I stopped to chat with the Maintenance Manager I was told the average age of owners ...

Over the past month, I have completely focused my efforts on setting a new direction for The Blaisdell Group.  I cannot begin to describe how confident and excited I am about the future prospects of this company.  I am going to go out on a limb and predict that we will be a million dollar company within three years. There, I said it.  There is no going back now... I heard an interesting analogy the other day.  When a ship leaves the dock, the chances of it getting to its destination are close to 100% because the Captain has set a predetermined destination & course before even starting the engines.  If this critical step was not completed first, the ship would be lucky to even get out of the harbor, let alone reach its final destination. That said, here is the course I have set for The B...

Welcome to The Blaisdell Group. In late 2002, I founded a new real estate company in Minneapolis, MN.  This new company grew out of an idea I hatched shortly after starting my undergraduate study at St. Cloud State University in 1986.  Everything I have accomplished since has been preparing me to lead the company now know as The Blaisdell Group. Since launching my real estate practice in 1991, I have operated in much the same fashion as most other real estate agents, focusing on one transaction after another.  As the market sagged into the gutter through 2006 & 2007, my business, like many others, suffered greatly.  This downturn forced me to do a complete reevaluation of my business model and what I found horrified me. Over the years, my practice has been structured around a transactio...
